In spite of this amasing record, many financjers are ssid to be of the opinion that there will be & steady scceleration toward larger banks.

DISPENSING WITH POWER INCUBUS Tt is gratitying indeed that Frank E. Gannett, newspaper proprietor, has 90 speedily dispensed with the fSnancial accommodation rendered by the International ‘Paper and Power Cempany, an institution that is two- thirds & power producér and one- 3 third & m manufacturer. To be sure, sensible commentators did not ', beleve that the power concern would have an influence in shaping the . pelicies of the Gannett papers, but such financial assistance unques- tionadbly would affect the influence of the newspapers with their readers. Recognizing this likelihood, Mr. . Gannett did well to forego the sup- peort of the power concern by writ- ing a check ‘“exceeding $2,700,000" .and tendering it to A. R. Graustein im exchange for the securities held. The exchange has been effected, and the Gannett papers, which includes * the Hartford Times, are thus offi- clally cleared of the suspicion that the journalistic venture which leans ‘ jugom power money ever st slightly ‘4 et inclined to be Inacpendent in viewing the ever recurring issues that binge upon power. ‘We trdst that the Boston Herald- Traveler, the Chicago News and CMicpgo Journal, and such other | newspepers which have taken ad- vaitage of the millions of money at th¥ dispoeal of newspaper financing | tréek this power interest likewise will divest themselves of such sup- PeFL.

Young. co-star of the Dawes plan, still continucs the lead- ing exponent of agreement among nations. The rcparations threatens to turn into a successful parley. and this, should it occur, will he duc largely to the genius of this muddle | shown that to permit the parley to fail will have a most disagreeable effect throughout Europe generally. Financially, none of the intereated nations are in a poaition to ignore the costly possibilities of failure. A DEMOCRAT EXTRAORDINARY It is common among the Republi- cans to consider the G. O, P. as possessing a monopoly of the wise men of the country, particularly in connection with financiers. Some Re- publicans think it is as natural for a successtul busineas man, or the head of a giant corporation, te belong to that party aa it is for a duck to take a bath. Of course, this is rot true. It is useless to call to mind all the suc- cessful business men Democrats, particularly when one of them— Owen D. Young—stands head and shoulders above all others, Here is the head of the General Electric Company, a “giant corpora- tion” of the nth power, and he i» an -unfaltering Democrat. Yet no- body except idealists have ever sug- gested him for the Democratic presidential ‘candidate. Jt i sald by some that the head of a corporation is the wrong type of man to have for & preaidential candidate. It that be true, then this democracy has a peculiar way of neglecting the effi- cient in favor of the politician. CENTRALIZED CONTROL Centralized government inevitably leads to the assumption that the cen- tral government is to aid the constit- uent parts all it can, or maybe more. Although the prevailing belief in Connecticut at present seems to be opposed to centralizing too much so far as Washington is concerned—as ‘witneas the state's rights arguments of our worthy senators and repre- sentatives—there is no such reticence in connection with centralized con- itrol in Hartford. That is an automo- bile of another color entirely, and woe to the politician in the outlying counties who dares to raise his head to inquire why it is that the Legisla- ture or the officials and boards and commissions of the Legislature have 80 much power to regulate and boss local affairs. He may not be read out of the party, but at least is looked upon with suspicion. ‘Where is the difference, in princl- ple, between federalized control over state affairs, or state control over town affairs? THL MERGERS OF BANKS When one examines the record ot mergers that have taken place with- in recent times one cannot help being impressed with the number of banking institutions that have been identified with the growing spirit of combination. At no time has this trend toward mergeritis been more evident than since the beginning of year, During the first quarter of 1929, in fact, more than 100 bank mergers took place, involving total assets of more than 13 billions of dollars, or about one-sixth the total resources of all banks in the United States. The bank mergers have pene- trated every city of importance, but as New York js the money center, they have been most marked in the metropolis. It is difficult for the average citizen to keep the names of the merged banks in mind, so rapid have come the announcements. The following list of the mergers in New York, therefore, will be illuminating: National City bank and the Farmers Loan & Trust Co., with total resources of more than $2,000,000,- 000, Bank of and the Guaranty Trust Co., with resources of nearly $2.000,000,000, Chase National bank American Express Co. Central Union Trust Co. and the Hanover National bank. Bank of Manhattan and the Inter- | national Acceptance bank. Bankers Trust Co. and the Empire Title & Trust Co. Bank of America. Bancamerica, and the tional bank. Manufacturers Trust Co. and the State Bank & Trust Co. Chemical Bank & Trust Co. and the Seventh Ave. National bank. Tn many of the above cases the mergers still await formal ratifica- tion by stockholders. Today the United States has fewer banks than it had in 1914, notwith- standing the increase in population and wealth. Up to 1922 there was a steady increase in banks: but since the beginning of that year it has fallen by 4.600. or nearly jcent. The first decline in the total of banks was due to bank failures, of R h there 855 during 23. From then on the decline Commerce and the Blair & Co. Nassau Na- were has been duc to acquisitions, consoli- ‘dations and mergers. The trend toward fewer and larger banks has brought with it an in- 15 per, thirds of them had a capital of $25,000 and less, and about two- thirds were located in villages of leas than 1,000 inhabitants. The reasen for bank mergers, of course, is to be able to cope with the needs of large induatries. The size of the largest loan that may be made by a bank to ene berrower is limited by law to ten per cent of its capital funds. The National City bank in 1928 had a capital O $75,- 000,000, s0 that ite largest loan was limited to $7,600,000. This seems a rather large loan, but not for some industriea Scores of corporations in the country have sales which run into nine figures and whose credit requirements will exceed the loan. ing ability of the largest bank, so that it has been necessary to divide the loans among a large number of banks; and it has been necessary to distribute deposits and investment epportunities among the many banks that serve them. The chief impetus for bank mergers, therefore, is to be able to loan larger sums to single industries or commercial enterprises, Big business demands big banks. If this is not attained by mergers, it is al ned partly by increases in capitalization. Some of these capi- tal increases have been large, as was the case with A. P. Giannini and his associates when they took over the Bank of America, which resulted in agapital increase from $6,500,000 to $25,000,000, Some mergers have been stimulat- ed, too, with the desire to acquire branch banks, The passage of the McFadden bank act in 1927 acceler- ated this development. This act pro- vides that upon consolidation of a state bank with a national bank, the consolidated bank may retain all branches which were in operation at the time the act was signed. During 1928 a total of €2 branches were brought into the national banking system in this manner. The bearing of almost continuous bank mergers upon American busi- ness is a fit subject for speculative thought. Important though it always has been for an industry to be aligned with “the proper kind of bank,” this alignment is sure to take on increasing importance. Competing business enterprises can be aided or ruined through alliances or lack of alliances with the proper banks. Competition for banking business heretofore has been keen, There has been no monopoly of capital. When credit was declined by one institution there were others seeking sound in- | vestments, As yet there is nothing to indicate that this free play of capital will be checked, yet the de. veloping consolidations, the merging, and the disappearance of once im- portant banking institutions can have but one final result: The con. centration of the control of credit, especially in the large banking centers—and an immense power over the major business corporations of the country—and this in the hands of a relatively few men at the head of the big banks. PRESIDENTIAL WEIGHT Picturas of Prcnidellt. Hoover have given the impression he is no light weight. Indeed, when he took over the reins of White House endeavor he weighed approximately 200 pounds, and he looked it. His per- sonal physician seems to have had a serious conyersation with the President and convinced him that, for the good of the nation, it was time to reduce. What fat man has not heard those fateful words. Per- haps the President, like every other victim of the medical inquisition, in- tion, inquired how this reducing business was to be achieved, and whether the first two months would be hardest. Whatever the conversa- tion was, the results are now fairly {well known. The President has re- | duced to 185 pounds; which is not | %0 bad considering the shert time he bas been in the White House. Washington correspondents, writ- ing about the farm relief bill, the ’obulreperoul Senate and other grandiloquent items, have given scanty attention to the rigorous or- deal through which the President }‘nn been passing. The White House ,grunts as Dr. Joel T. Boone took the bulky Mr. Hoover over the hurdles of early morning exercises have not been registered on pages of print. And what Mr. Hoover replied. after {working up a terrific appetite and being ordered to eat only so much 1and no more, likewise have not been chronicled. These remarks, we take ' | iit, must have been among the most | interesting items of Washington in- telligence. Imagine Mr. Hoover's sur- prise when, after a spirited session 24 volley ball and such other gruelling indoor cxercises as the circumstances irequired, heing told by Dr. Boone that merely because a President is !tired and hungry is no reason why | he should eat more than a small por- tion of fosd—and remain hungry for tostity. Even a President must stand for it. Most reducing, however, is unauc- cesful. The will power and stamins required seems to be beyond the powers of average abllity. The worthy citizens who have Success. fully “knocked off{" 20 to 30 pounds ot their avoirdupois are in the minority; the others just peck at it and give it up with the mental reservation that it is their nature teo be tat. Besides, they quote Shakes- peare about the glories of .the fat man. But a President of these United States cannet be so indepeadent. He must keep himaself in good physical condition for the benefit of the coun. try. We are glad that Mr. Hoever poaseased the gumption to stick te the ordeal and go through with it. He has lost 15 pounds and it is unlikely that Dr. Boone will allow him ‘to grow careless and add to that figure.
